▼ This study examined the links between sibling experiences in early adolescence and romantic relationship formation and qualities in later adolescence. Using two waves of longitudinal data from a sample of 203 White middle and working class families, we focused on relationship data from firstborn adolescents (N = 177; mean firstborn age at Time 1 = 16.46 years SD = .79; firstborn age at Time 2 = 18.38 years SD = .78). In home interviews, adolescents reported on their sibling
relationships (intimacy, conflict, and control) at Wave 1and on their romantic relationship experiences (competence, intimacy, power, and relationship formation) at Wave 2. Sibling dyad gender constellation (same, mixed gender) and firstborns’ gender were included as potential moderators of links between sibling relationship characteristics and later romantic relationship qualities. Siblings from mixed-gender sibling pairs were no more likely to have formed romantic
relationships than their peers from same-gender sibling dyads, but self reports of romantic competence were significantly lower for girl-girl sibling pairs than boy-boy sibling pairs, with mixed-gender sibling pairs scoring in between and different from neither. Sibling intimacy in early adolescence predicted romantic power and intimacy in later adolescence, sibling conflict predicted romantic intimacy, and sibling control predicted both romantic power and romantic intimacy. Adolescent gender moderated the relation between sibling conflict and romantic intimacy such that the negative relationship between romantic intimacy and sibling conflict that was present for girls was not present for boys. In addition, sibling dyad gender constellation moderated the relation between sibling control and romantic power such that a significant positive relationship between sibling conflict and romantic power was observed for mixed-gender dyads but not for same-gender dyads. Implications of the findings, as well as directions for future research, are discussed.

▼ In this dissertation, I explored how social
relationships influence, and are influenced by, men's experiences of caregiving to their aging parents. Because of sociodemographic trends such as fewer siblings in younger generations and the growth of women seeking professional careers, men are increasingly likely to be called upon to meet parental care needs. When assuming care responsibility for their parents, however, men must confront the gender ideology that defines family caregiving as "women's work." Positioning social
relationships as a component of men's gendered experiences of parental caregiving, I addressed two research questions. First, I sought to understand the role of social
relationships in caregiving sons' negotiation of masculinity. Second, I examined whether and how caregiving sons (re)organize their social networks so as to better manage care responsibility. In pursuing these questions, my ultimate goals were to identify (a) whether and how men's parental caregiving can subvert gender relations, and (b) whether and how social partners link men's experiences of parental caregiving to gendered structural arrangements. In this research, I focused on caregiving sons in Japan, where, despite an increase in sons who (are required to) take on the role of parental caregiver, men's parental caregiving is still seen as "atypical."
This dissertation consists of three studies. In the first study, I sought to clarify how Japanese men typically view and carry out care responsibility for their parents in relation to traditional familial institutions, Ie, that are comprised of multiple norms regarding such dimensions as birth order, inheritance, and the family membership of married women. Using data from a nationally representative sample of men in Japan (N = 964), results of latent class analyses indicated that Japanese men can be classified into three groups according to level of conformity to each norm in the Ie tradition. Further, through multiple group regression analyses on men with at least one living parent in the sample (n = 553), I found family circumstances associated with their actual involvement in parental caregiving differ across the three groups. The results suggest possible sociohistorical changes in the influence of Ie ideas on Japanese men's views about and styles of parental caregiving.
In the second study, from the perspective of doing gender, I examined how caregiving sons account for their atypical family role, with particular attention paid to their nonnormative use of normative conceptions of gender and family. Using a constructivist version of grounded theory applied to interview data from adult sons in Japan who are primary caregivers for their parents with dementia (N = 21), I found they attempt to legitimize their care responsibility by invoking (a) traditional Ie norms and (b) stereotypical ideas about masculinity/femininity, both of which have been used in the past to tie women to family caregiving. The findings suggest that sons might deconstruct normative conceptions in an attempt…

▼ This study addresses the largely unexplored area of Chinese interpersonal
relationships and attachment styles post-modernization of China. A Phenomenological approach was employed to shed light on how traditional Confucian beliefs and modern values are understood and experienced by young Chinese adults today. Six Chinese students were interviewed and the transcripts analysed using the method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three prominent themes emerged which accurately reflected the experiences of the participants: (1) Family ties and loyalty to elders; (2) Right/wrong and Being "naughty" and (3) Making sense of traditional roles and values in a changing society. These findings provide a detailed insight into Chinese ways of relatedness in a modern world, which is invaluable for improving the cross-cultural validity of attachment theory.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Current mainstream theories of intimacy were derived from studies with primarily White,
middle class participants living in developed countries. However, as social contexts shape
people’s definitions, meanings and behaviours, it cannot be assumed that mainstream
intimacy conceptualisations would apply to other populations. Studies of intimacy should be
located in its social and historical context. Previous South African studies of Black and
Coloured couples mainly emphasised HIV/Aids, interpartner violence and gender inequality,
and neglected to investigate positive aspects of intimate lives of poorer communities. A lack
of such context-specific data on how South African men and women construct and
experience intimate
relationships hinders appropriate and effective interventions. This study
addressed this research gap by exploring intimacy experiences of long-term heterosexual
adult Coloured couples living in a low-income semi-rural community. The objective of this
qualitative study was to gain an understanding of how the participant couples expressed and
experienced intimacy. The participants were 15 couples (i.e. 30 participants), between the
ages of 23 and 66 years, who had been married or living together for a minimum period of
two years. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore: (i) how couples
understand intimacy, and (ii) how intimacy is expressed and experienced in committed adult
heterosexual
relationships. Theoretically, this study was informed by social constructionism
and interviews were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis method. The
following themes were identified: (i) closeness means being together, (ii) sex and intimacy
(iii) closeness in talking (iv) expressions and experiences of intimacy/closeness through acts
of care, (v) alcohol disrupts closeness (vi) family of origin and the constructions of intimacy;
and (vii) community constructions and norms.
Although much of the international literature suggests that mutual self-disclosure is the
foundation for intimacy, self-disclosure did not feature prominently in the narratives of this
study’s narratives. Closeness was expressed through sharing in practical and tangible ways.
Gender was pertinent to these couples’ experiences and gender roles were fundamental to
their intimacy perceptions and behaviours. Despite some contestations of hegemonic
masculinity and femininity constructions, most of the participants did not demonstrate an active awareness or resistance regarding learned gender roles. They did not seem to consider
these gender roles as problematic, limited or limiting, nor did they indicate alternative gender
ideas. This was attributed partly to poverty and low education levels, which constrain
people’s access to alternative gender perspectives. Religion and community influences also
play an important role in their understanding of their role as partner. Although Christianity
endorses traditional gender ideas, the participants themselves felt that their…

▼ The study was conducted in Ethiopia commercial Bank sport club female athletics team
here in Addis Ababa. The main purpose of this study was to study the interpersonal
relationships among Ethiopian Commercial Bank sport club female athletics team. The
participants in this research were consisted of 26 tracks and filed female athletes,
three coaches of the team, and the general manager of the team .The participants were
selected non random sample as purposely. The major instruments in this study were
questionnaire, interview, and field observation. The questionnaires were administered for
both female athletes and coaches of the team. To consolidate the information obtained
from the questionnaire, unstructured interview was conducted with the general manager
of the team and field observation was used. The finding of the study related to the
interpersonal
relationships among athletes of the team indicated that, most of the athletes
responded that there is mutual respect, responsibilities, supporting and appreciating
each other during training and computation. They also said that they respect, trust and
like their coaches even if they face communication, leadership and coaching styles limits.
In conclusion, the study showed that there is some what a positive interpersonal
relationship among each athletes of the team, coach and female athletes,
coaches – management of the team. It is a great impact that the team giving motivations
like incentives and bonuses, apply cooperative coaching styles, improve communication
and cooperative leadership contribute positive interpersonal
relationships of the team.

▼ This dissertation examines some counterintuitive effects associated with having high status. Whereas much literature focuses on benefits associated with holding high status, in this dissertation, I highlight some negative outcomes that can come from having status. Study 1 examines marital costs that can emerge when women hold high job status relative to their spouses. I propose a conditional process model such that when women experience job status leakage, a construct referring to contempt that women feel towards their husbands’ lower job status, this will positively predict marital instability, mediated through decreased relationship satisfaction. The model is tested in a cross-sectional field study on women in high job status positions, and the model is supported.
The second study of this dissertation examines potential costs when in high status positions to CEOs longevity. I argue that despite the benefits accrued at the highest level of organizational status; CEOs will compare their status to other CEOs, which influences their longevity. Using a retrospective cohort analysis on award winners from Financial Word Magazine’s “CEO of the Year” contest, I test four competing models, which suggest that the ways CEOs interpret their status can predict longevity. The results of this study are largely unsupported, though post-hoc analyses and theorizing suggest that status maintenance comes at a cost to longevity for this group of CEOs.
In the third study of this dissertation, I examine the relational costs associated with holding high status. Given the relational nature of status, for some individuals to have high status, there must be lower status referents. The emotions and behaviors of those lower status others are the focus of the third study. I propose that in the presence of status differences, lower status individuals will feel envious of others’ higher status positions, and I quantify how much status dispersion must be present in order for envy to be triggered. I also suggest that when individuals are envious of others’ status positions, they are more likely to ostracize high status targets and perceive themselves as ostracized in social interactions. The results suggest that there is a curvilinear relationship between status dispersion and envy, where only minimal status differences need be present in order for envy to emerge, and envy then predicts feeling ostracized in social situations.
The dissertation closes with a general discussion of the studies, and suggests areas for future research.

▼ Collegial relationships between teachers are very important within the school environment. They are essential to ensuring the school operates smoothly and within a positive atmosphere. Positive relationships between teachers benefit both students and teachers within the school. Professional Development is reliant on positive relationships between teaching staff, with it being an essential component of effective Professional Development courses. Many teachers have negative attitudes towards Professional Development due to it being very individual and irrelevant to their teaching practice. However, when it is based around collaboration and coaching with other colleagues, teachers are much more engaged and ultimately find it beneficial. Professional Development needs to be driven by senior leaders within schools, with them also responsible for pushing positive relationships. This literature review looks at a variety of literature regarding Professional evelopment and how teacher’s relationships are essential to successful execution.

▼ The topic of the thesis were triads, its actors and relationships and collaboration between the actors. The starting point for this thesis is the previously made thesis, since the interviews of it have been used as empirical material of this thesis. The purpose of the thesis was to study, by means of the theoretical and the empirical material, how a triad works to boost collaboration between the actors. The target was to confirm the assumed perspective that a triad can act as a system of collaboration.
This thesis is made as a qualitative research that used conceptual study which based on the theoretical sources. The theoretical framework deals with relationships in triads, collaboration and open and closed systems. As the interviews were conducted in the supply network, this thesis focused especially on triads and on its relationships between the buyer and two suppliers.
The empirical part of the thesis was handled as a case study. Empirical research has been used to analyze the interviews to determine whether the interviews supported the views presented on the basis of the theoretical material. Previous made interviews were held on a predetermined target network and both open and closed questions were used. The examination of the interviews was focused on their most important content for each of the six pairs of interviews. After that, the interviews were started to be analyzed more closely and examined whether they were consistent with the content of the theoretical framework.
At the end of the thesis, conclusions and a summary of the results are presented. In particular, the results emphasize that improving communication can increase trust and commitment and create fellowship. Through it, loose actors will become a part of a smaller network – the triad.

▼ This study details the development of a novel scale to measure individual differences in cheer-leading (bias) and truth-seeking (accuracy) in the context of romantic
relationships. In Study 1, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out, which revealed the Cheer-Leading and Truth-Seeking Scale was internally reliable, and contains two distinct, albeit inter-related factors. Study 2 examined the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale. Cheer-leading and truth-seeking were related to relationship quality, attachment working models, responses to dissatisfaction and conflict, self-esteem and attributional complexity in largely predicted ways. Study 3 provided evidence for the predictive ability of the scale. Cheer-leading moderated the link between relationship quality and relationship problems as predicted. That is, high levels of cheer-leading provided a buffer against decreases in relationship satisfaction in the presence of more frequent and severe problems. The implications of this research and applications of this scale are discussed.

▼ Previous research has explored sibling
relationships, romantic
relationships, parent-child
relationships, and alcohol use in adolescence and early adulthood (Fleming, White, & Catalano, 2010; Rauer & Volling, 2007; Samek & Rueter, 2011). However, the research is miniscule when examining how these factors influence one another. This study examined adolescent family-of-origin
relationships, as well as adolescent alcohol use, and its influence on early adulthood
relationships and alcohol use, through the lens of Attachment Theory. This study used a subset of participants from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (ADD Health) (Harris & Udry, 2008) (N = 764). The results suggest that
relationships and behaviors endure over time. Adolescents’ perceived closeness with both mother and father had a positive influence on perceived closeness with mother and father in early adulthood and alcohol use in adolescence had a positive influence on alcohol use in early adulthood. Furthermore, closeness with mother in adolescence had a negative influence on partner relationship quality in early adulthood. Additionally, alcohol use in adolescence had a positive influence on closeness with mother and father in early adulthood. Implications for clinicians, families and researchers are discussed.

▼ Even in the best
relationships things can, and often
do, go wrong. Whether an individual experiences a brand failure or
their friend betrays their trust, an individual experiences a
transgression when they feel that they have been let down.
Transgressions, or critical incidents, have the ability to change
the trajectory of a relationship from continuing smoothly to, at
the most extreme, retaliation. Thus, it is important to know and
understand how individuals can overcome transgressions. ❧ Recently,
in psychology, forgiveness has received significant attention for
its ability to repair transgressions and restore
relationships. In
interpersonal
relationships, forgiveness has been shown to have the
ability to increase conciliatory behaviors in
relationships
following a transgression (McCullough, Worthington, and Rachal
1997) and repair the relationship from the damage caused by the
transgression (Fincham 2000). Forgiveness has yet to be explored in
consumption situations and, even in psychology, the process of
forgiveness has yet to be clearly specified. I contend that
forgiveness is a critical step in understanding how individuals
overcome transgressions. In this dissertation, I examine
forgiveness in consumption
relationships and interpersonal
relationships and delineate the process of forgiveness. ❧ In the
first chapter of this dissertation, I examine why forgiveness is
important in understanding brand transgressions. I investigate the
role of brand relationship closeness and forgiveness as key
constructs in understanding the differences in behaviors following
brand failures. I demonstrate that brand forgiveness plays a key
role, in effect, being the link between brand relationship
closeness and future brand behaviors following a brand
transgression. ❧ Thus, through chapter 1, I demonstrate the
importance of forgiveness in consumer brand
relationships following
transgressions. However, the question of how relationship closeness
leads to forgiveness remains unanswered. In chapters 2 and 3, I
propose and test a sequential mediation model designed to elucidate
the process of forgiveness. I draw upon a partial proposed model in
interpersonal
relationships to create my four step model of
forgiveness. I hypothesize that forgiveness, which stems from a
close relationship, occurs because of a desire to restore this
relationship, and that is driven by motivated reasoning. In chapter
2, I test this model following consumer brand transgressions in
three studies. In Study 1, I test this model following a recalled
brand transgression and find initial support for the model. In
Study 2, I test this model using a hypothetical scenario to find
out how participants would react towards a brand failure, again,
finding support for the model. In Study 3, I show that differences
in the model arise, as hypothesized, when cognitive load is
introduced, providing support for the use of two mediators in the
sequential mediation model. Finally, in chapter 3, I test this
model in interpersonal
relationships and confirm that the model
delineates…

▼ The current study examines the specific relations of boundary dissolution—the disintegration of normal parent-child roles in which the child fulfills the parent’s emotional needs to an inappropriate degree—to young adult romantic
relationship satisfaction and insecurity. Boundary dissolution, retrospectively reported by 779 college undergraduates, was regressed along measures of relationship satisfaction and insecurity while controlling for the variance explained by measures of
adult attachment and authoritative parenting style. Authoritative parenting style was measured by the Authoritative subscale of the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ; Buri, 1991). Adult attachment was measured by the total parent scale score of the
Inventory of Peer and Parent Attachment (IPPA; Armsden & Greenberg, 1987). Boundary dissolution was assessed using the parentification, adultification, and seductive spousification subscales of the Parent-Child Boundary Scale (PBS; Kerig, 2006). The
PAQ, IPPA, and PBS were administered separately for mother and father. Romantic relationships outcomes included measures of insecurity and satisfaction. Our results indicate that, after controlling for PAQ and IPPA scores, the measures of boundary
dissolution are significantly related to romantic relationship satisfaction and insecurity. Specifically, relationship satisfaction was predicted by maternal and paternal adultification (β = -.15 and -.13 respectively, both p < .05), maternal
spousification (β = -.17, p < .05), and paternal parentification (β = -.14, p < .05). Relationship insecurity was predicted by maternal spousification (β = .12, p < .05) and paternal adultification (β = .16, p < .05). The results of this
study extend the theoretical understanding of the interpersonal outcomes of boundary dissolution. Future research will seek to identify factors that may mediate the relations between boundary dissolution and romantic relationship
functioning.

Positive school climate is associated with a broad range of student benefits across diverse student populations. However, Black1 students often report less positive perceptions of school climate than their peers, which could lead to decreased school engagement. One important aspect of school climate, teacher-student relationships, may promote positive student outcomes such as engagement. Specifically, supportive and structured teacher behaviors are associated with greater student engagement, which in turn may predict ongoing supportive and structured teaching, but current literature examining these associations underrepresents Black students and their teachers. The current study was completed in elementary and middle school classrooms in four New Orleans public charter schools with majority Black student populations. It was hypothesized that across grade levels and levels of teacher experience in education, supportive and structured teaching at the beginning of the year would be positively associated with student engagement at mid-year, and that mid-year student engagement would positively mediate the association between supportive and structured teaching at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. Results supported the hypothesized association between beginning-of-the-year supportive and structured teaching and mid-year student engagement. However, results did not support the hypothesized association between beginning-of-the-year supportive and structured teaching and end-of-year supportive and structured teaching, nor was there a mediation effect of mid-year student engagement. The current findings extend the literature promoting supportive and structured teaching as an effective tool for student engagement to include classrooms with predominantly Black students. Results and implications are discussed in the context of supportive and structured teaching, student engagement, and the broader construct of school climate.
1The author of the current study notes the diversity of racial and ethnic backgrounds represented by individuals identifying as Black. As this racial group includes individuals with origins from any of the black racial and ethnic groups of the world, including those from African countries and the Caribbean, the current document adopts the terminology of Kena and colleagues (2015) and uses the term Black as an inclusive term representing these diverse groups.

Abeba Tadele
Addis Ababa University, 2014
Understanding the world’s need for price stability, the possible growth halting effects that emanate from the rising levels of inflation in most African countries is becoming an issue of increasing concern. This study compares the impact of inflation on economic growth between Ethiopia and Uganda .In doing so it employs annual time series data of Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a proxy for inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current price as a proxy for growth, which covers the period 1990-2012. The analysis adopted descriptive approach to show the trend and variability of inflation and growth so as to give a clear view how the variables change through time for both countries. The ADF and Phillp-Perron tests are conducted to check for stationarity in the variables, the Johansen co-integration test is used to confirm the existence of co-integration between inflation and growth variables. After finding the existence of co-integration between the variables the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) is used to investigate the causal relationship between inflation and growth. Comparison of the coefficient of variations of the two countries shows that the variabilities of GDP and inflation are larger for Ethiopia than Uganda. And the Vector Error Correction Model shows the existence of a positive significant bi-directional feedback relationship between inflation and economic growth for Ethiopia both in the short and long run. But for Uganda there exists only a uni-directional negative relationship between inflation and growth that runs from GDP growth to inflation. Since there is a strong long run effect of economic growth on inflation both in Ethiopia and Uganda, there is a need for a stabilization program to mitigate the inflationary situations in both countries. Therefore, focus should be given on policies that will achieve price stability in Ethiopia. This demands further research in identifying factors affecting the level of inflation in the country and also on the impact of inflation on other economic variables like on the development of a country. Uganda needs to concentrate on the adoption of a more appropriate fiscal policy instruments like increasing the provision of infrastructural facilities, provision of professional training for farmers, increment of investment opportunities and the likes that could eliminate the structural bottlenecks.

▼ How do we respond when those we are closest to behave unethically? Previous research has almost exclusively investigated individuals’ reactions to transgressions committed by strangers. Here we examined how observers evaluated close others and their misbehaviour, how close others’ misbehaviour affected observers’ own morality, and how relationship relevant outcomes were impacted when a close other, compared to a stranger, acted immorally. Participants read hypothetical transgressions (Study 1), recalled actual transgressions (Study 2), and witnessed transgressions occur in the laboratory committed by romantic partners, friends, and strangers (Study 3). Effects were consistent across Studies 1 and 2, but less so for Study 3. For the most part, participants evaluated transgressors and their unethical actions less harshly, but exhibited greater negative effects on their own morality and perceived relationship outcomes when close others acted unethically, compared to strangers. This work suggests that sharing intimate bonds with transgressors impact moral evaluations.

▼ Over the past two decades, offshore outsourcing to emerging economies, such as China, has been viewed by firms as an efficient way to gain competitive advantage. Literature indicates that offshore outsourcing can enhance firms’ competitiveness and efficiency by reducing costs, expanding relational ties, freeing up scarce resources, and leveraging capabilities. However, the research relating to risk management of offshore outsourcing
relationships has not been widely reflected in extant literature. This study addresses this research gap by developing a conceptual model that examines the association between management approaches and the risks in offshore outsourcing
relationships. This study applies two types of risks being relational risk and performance risk, as dependent variables. Based on social exchange theory and transaction cost theory, this study proposes two management approaches to minimise risks in offshore outsourcing
relationships, which are the relational approach and the transactional approach.
Empirical testing of the conceptual model employed a quantitative approach using an online survey of 41 managers from Australia and New Zealand. The survey data was analysed using a multiple regression technique, which revealed four valuable findings. Firstly, a higher level of relational risk leads to a higher level of performance risk. Secondly, the relational approach, based on interdependence of outsourcing exchange firms, can reduce performance risk. Thirdly, an increased level of relationship-specific investments contributes to the rise of performance risk. More importantly, the survey results show that relational risk plays a mediating role between relational factors and performance risk. This study recommends that offshore outsourcing firms employ the relational approach to manage performance risk. The mediating role of relational risk also indicates that firms should not just concentrate on minimising the performance risks of offshore outsourcing
relationships, but should also manage relational risks due to uncooperative behaviours such as opportunism.

▼ Research has demonstrated that the coach-athlete relationship is one of the key
interpersonal factors that influences outcomes such as performance (Sánchez, Borrás, Leite,
Battaglia, &
Lorenzo, 2009), satisfaction
with performance (Jowett & Don Carolis, 2003), and
dropout rates (Fraser-Thomas, Côté, & Deakin, 2008). However, relatively little is known about
the factors necessary to achieve and/or maintain a high-quality coach-athlete relationship.
Building upon Jowett and Poczwardowski’s (2007) integrated research model, this study of 355
coach-athlete dyads explored how congruence
(i.e., similarity, fit)
of goal orientation
(GO)
impacted
the quality of the coach-athlete relationship and coach-athlete communication.
Specifically, it was hypothesized that
congruence
between coach and athlete goal orientations
(mastery, performance-approach, performance-
avoid) would be positively related to both
variables of interest. Using polynomial regression and response surface analysis, results
indicated that goal orientation congruence is an important determinant in both the quality of the
coach-athlete relationship and coach-athlete communication. Implications for coaches and
athletes based on the magnitude and direction of
goal orientation congruence/incongruence are
discussed. The importance of the method and measures
used to assess congruence is also
discussed.

▼ Pea 30 taasiseseisvusaasta jooksul on paljud Eesti ettevõtjad loonud varakogumi, mis oleks tervikliku ja mõistliku haldamise korral piisav, et tagada regulaarne sissetulek nii ettevõtjale enesele kui ka järeltulevatele põlvedele. Samas puudub Eestis praegu optimaalne õiguslik lahendus, mis võimaldaks näiteks pärast ettevõtja surma jätkata äriühingu tegevust, kaitstuna perekonnasisestest lahkhelidest tulenevate probleemide, mõne pereliikme liigse tarbimise või riskijulguse ning võlausaldajate võimalike rünnakute eest. Seetõttu otsivad isikud abi välisriikidest, kus eksisteerivad sobivad õiguslikud lahendused. Tihtipeale kasutatakse selleks välismaiseid trust’e.
Trust-i näol on tegemist süsteemiga, mis võimaldab eraldada isiku vara hulgast esemeid, et tagada nende säilimine ja (eelduslikult tulutoov) valitsemine. Samas on võimalik garanteerida tulud kindlatele isikutele nii, et esemed pole ka nende vara koosseisus ja neil ei ole varaküsimustes otsustusõigust. Lisaks ettevõttega seotud surmapuhustele korraldustele, mida nimetati eespool, kasutatakse trust’e ka näiteks siis, kui soovitakse tagada ajalooliselt suguvõsa omandis olnud kinnisasja säilimine ja selle kasutamise võimalus tulevastele põlvedele. Samuti siis, kui inimene muretseb selle pärast, et ei ole kõrgesse ikka jõudes enam suuteline tegema varalistes küsimustes pädevaid otsuseid, või tal on puudega laps, kes ei ole pärast vanema surma võimeline varalisi otsuseid langetama. Ka saab vanem trust-i abil lükata lapse omanikuks saamist edasi kuni viimase täisikka jõudmiseni või teha korraldusi puhuks, kui on alust arvata, et laps ei ole varalistes küsimustes usaldusväärne ka täisealisena (on narkomaan või hasartmängusõltlane). Keerulisi olukordi põhjustavad ka segased pere- ja paarisuhted, näiteks kui abielulahutuse korral soovib üks vanem varakogumi eraldamise teel kindlustada laste tulevikku, välistades samas teise vanema otsustusõiguse selle vara üle.
Väitekirja eesmärk on leida vastus küsimusele, millised probleemid esinevad Eestis juba eksisteerivate õiguslike lahenduste kasutamisel perevara planeerimiseks. Vaatluse all on eelkõige testamenditäitja ning eel- ja järelpärija instituudid, käsundusleping ja sihtasutus. Töö lisaeesmärk on välja tuua vajalikud muudatused kehtivates õigusaktides.; During nearly 30 years of independence, many Estonian entrepreneurs have created a pool of assets that, if managed in an undivided and prudent manner, could ensure a regular income for the entrepreneur himself and for future generations. However, there is currently no good legal solution in Estonia that would prevent the dispersal of the estate (business), ensure continuity in the management of business after death as well as protect it from family disagreements, excessive consumption or risk courage of some family members or possible attacks by creditors. Therefore, individuals seek help from foreign countries where appropriate legal solutions exist – often foreign trusts are used.

▼ The study set out to investigate the state of teacher-learner relationships in a culturally diverse Grade 10 classroom from a social wellness perspective. The views of teachers and learners who were purposively sampled as study participants were explored on issues relating to the phenomena under study. A triple integrative theoretical lens comprising three theories, namely, Ubuntu theory, the self-system theory and the social wellness theory were used to guide this study. These theories collectively view the social system as influencing individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and relationships with others, and as determining individuals’ development of the total self and identity, ultimately.
The study is qualitative in nature and hence employed the interpretivist paradigm as well as the case study design. The case was a multicultural secondary school located in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Data were collected from participants using an open-ended questionnaire and structured interviews. Data collected through the open-ended questionnaire were analysed using Creswell’s (2009) sequential steps for data analysis, while data from structured interviews were analysed through Tesch’s (1990) steps of data analysis. Analysed data was interpreted from the participants’ viewpoint and discussed in relation to related literature. Several themes were identified from the analysed data and these answer the research questions. Generally, the findings reveal that in the case school, the teacher-learner relationship is positive, and that the cultural diversity in the school is recognised, acknowledged, valued, and embraced. Basically, the case school embraces the values of Ubuntu.
The researcher managed to generate a new theory called the ‘Self with Others Wellness Theory, derived from the study’s findings which embraces the African values of Ubuntu. Therefore, the study contributes and adds to existing theory, and is valuable for guiding and informing policy. The study also therefore adds value to the practice of education and other disciplines to which it is applicable.

▼ In our current educational climate where high-stakes, standardized testing is a top priority, conversations around teaching and learning are often reduced to which practices will raise student test scores. This is especially true in many schools deemed failing under current education policy guidelines, and often students of color and poor students attend those “failing” schools. In the schools deemed failing, student compliance is emphasized and often teacher-student
relationships or any other conversations about how schools should serve students are eliminated or pushed to the periphery.
This dissertation looks into those peripheral issues of
relationships between students and teachers. The central questions raised here are: how are
relationships between students and teachers constructed in the classroom and how important are those
relationships to the students and teachers involved? Qualitative, ethnographic methods were used in this 4-month study to observe in one 10th grade US History teacher’s classroom as well as interviews with the focal teacher, students, and other school staff in order to gain insight into their experiences and perspectives situated in the context of this particular research site.
My focal teacher, Kurian Joseph, created and enacted a curriculum that was critical, relevant to students’ lived experiences, and participatory. This curriculum emerged out of Kurian’s personal beliefs that his purpose was to help give his students the tools so they could be the ones to transform an oppressive society. Kurian, along with the founding teachers of the school, arrived at teaching from an activist background, with a critical consciousness that informed his beliefs about teaching as well as his everyday interactions with his students. Students told me they felt as though Kurian was a teacher who understood where they came from, which he achieved through the framing of his curriculum and valuing students’ experiences. However, tensions around authority and student engagement still existed in the school. Kurian, along with other teachers in the school, had to negotiate the use of their authority in the classroom in order to achieve a balance between being respected as the authority (by students and administrators) and being “laid back” (something the students I interviewed placed a high value on).
This research sheds light on how
relationships can be constructed that acknowledge the socio-political realities of our students’ lives (Rolon-Dow, 2005; Valenzuela, 1999). This research argues that critical consciousness is key in terms of teachers understanding students’ lives in a way that is not paternalistic or deficit-oriented. Despite the existence of a relevant curriculum and caring teachers, not all students felt connected to school, however. Even the most relevant and participatory curriculum is not enacted in a vacuum—students and teachers are still negotiating with wider systems (e.g., school and society), and those systems are still sites where power and inequality are reproduced more often…

▼ Teachers make innumerable decisions in their classrooms, taking into account students’ readiness for a particular topic, their cultural background, and their learning profile. However, the teacher’s role—taking care of high numbers of individual students along with the classroom as a whole—can be stressful and discouraging. The current educational conversation leads teachers toward seeing students as test scores as opposed to individual human beings. I would argue that excellent teachers know their students—knowing that goes beyond grades from the previous year. I also argue for high quality, responsive teaching—teaching that acknowledges the needs of individuals and requires teachers to respond in some effective way. This project was a qualitative case study (Dyson & Genishi, 2005) of one fifth-grade classroom teacher as she strove to be responsive to her students. It documented how the
relationships she built with her students affected and were affected by her responsive teaching.

▼ One way individuals evaluate the success of their relationship is through the consistency between their ideal standards and actual perceptions of their romantic partner and relationship. The ideal standards model suggests that greater consistency predicts a more positive evaluation of one’s partner and relationship. The proposed research tested self-monitoring as a moderator of this association. It was hypothesized that ideal-perception consistency would predict relationship satisfaction (H1) and that the importance of meeting one’s ideal standard for predicting relationship quality would differ for low and high self-monitors depending on the dimension. Specifically, with the warmth/trustworthiness dimension, higher ideal-perception consistency would predict higher relationship quality, especially for low self-monitors (H2a). With the vitality/status/passion dimension, higher ideal-perception consistency would predict higher relationship quality, especially for high self-monitors (H2b). Individuals in
relationships (N = 172) completed an online survey. Five approaches to discrepancy were conducted to compare findings across multiple operationalizations. Results revealed that Hypothesis 1 was supported in three of the five methods. Specifically, findings from the ideal standards model replicated using the direct approach, within-
subject correlation approach, and the covariance approach. The absolute-value approach and interaction approach did not yield significant results. Further, Hypothesis 2 was not supported in all cases but one: using the direct approach and the vitality/status/passion dimension, ideal-perception consistency predicted higher relationship quality, especially for high self-monitors. This finding held when controlling for anxious attachment, gender, and relationship length. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

▼ Autism affects 1 of 50 children in the United States (Blumberg et al., 2013). Given its high rate of occurrence, many children are growing and providing care for siblings in a family context that contains an autistic child. Due to this provision of care, adolescent siblings may experience higher levels of negative behaviors, such as internalizing (e.g., depression, anxiety) and externalizing behaviors (e.g., aggression). It was hypothesized that elevated levels of caregiving would be related to higher levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. It was also hypothesized that high and low levels of social support for caregiving would be related to internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Finally, parent and adolescent ratings of adolescents??? internalizing and externalizing behaviors were compared. Twenty-two typically developing adolescent siblings of autistic children, between the ages of 14 and 19 years, and one parent of each autistic child participated in this study. Recruitment occurred through the autistic children???s junior high schools, local autism societies and groups, and social media. Data collection took place via telephone. Measures included an autism severity measure, an assessment of the caregiving and domestic tasks performed by sibling caregivers, The Child Behavior Checklist (parent version and youth version), the Social Support Scale for Adolescent Caregivers, and the neuroticism subscale from the NEO. Adolescents reported participating in domestic chores and having a large amount of responsibility for domestic chores within the family. Parental reports of higher externalizing and internalizing behaviors corresponded with adolescent reports of higher externalizing and internalizing behaviors. In both cases, adolescents reported relatively higher levels of behaviors than did their parents. There was no support for the hypotheses that greater caregiving and domestic responsibilities would be related to behavioral outcomes or that these
relationships would be moderated by social support.

▼ The partners of people with low self-esteem (LSEs) are just as loving and generous as the partners of people with high self-esteem (HSEs; Campbell, Simpson, Boldry, & Kashy, 2005; Murray et al., 2000). Nonetheless, LSEs persist in underestimating their partners’ regard (e.g., Murray, Holmes, & Griffin, 2000). In this research, I propose a model of attribution inversion, which predicts that LSEs will invert the positive attributions for a partner’s sacrifice that would be predicted by classic theory (Kelley, 1967), because of the risk associated with interpreting a partner’s sacrifice too positively. In Study 1, LSEs worried more than HSEs about their partners’ sacrifices. In Studies 2 and 3, LSEs experienced more anxiety over a large (but not small) sacrifice relative to HSEs, and attributed less caring motives to their partners. Studies 4 and 5 demonstrated my proposed mechanisms: Offering one’s partner an exchange of favors (Study 5)—thereby reducing exchange concerns—or experimentally increasing LSEs’ caring attributions (Study 4) eliminated LSEs’ tendency to be more cautious than HSEs about their partners’ sacrifices, suggesting that exchange concerns and doubts about caring drive LSEs’ typical caution. Finally, Study 6 demonstrated that caution is not unique to LSEs. Under a cognitive load manipulation, HSEs were just as cautious, but were apparently able to override that automatic inclination when given sufficient time and resources. Overall, my research suggests that the discounting of a partner’s sacrifices is one route by which low self-esteem is self-perpetuating even with a loving partner.

▼ Research has shown that forgiveness promotes individual psychological well-being as well as positive relationship functioning. Moreover, couples themselves report that forgiving is one of the most important reasons that their relationships stand the test of time (Fenell,1993). However, the partner behaviours that facilitate, or even thwart, forgiveness in romantic relationships have been the subject of limited empirical research. In the current study, I investigated the effects of two sets of partner behaviour—offers of amends and expressions of responsiveness (i.e. understanding, validation, care)—on forgiveness for real-life hurtful events in romantic relationships. Sixty-four couples participated in a lab-based, experimental study in which I manipulated whether the partner who disclosed feelings about an unresolved, hurtful event (“victim”) received a videotaped response from his/her partner in which this partner (“offender”) expressed: 1) responsiveness only, 2) amends only, 3) both responsiveness and amends, or 4) neither responsiveness nor amends (control group). Trained coders provided micro-ratings of offenders’ specific responsive (e.g., perspective-taking) and amends (e.g., apology) behaviour as well as macro-ratings of more global displays of these behaviours (e.g., overall understanding, overall remorse). Victims also completed measures of relationship satisfaction, event severity, perceptions of their partners’ amends, perceptions of their partners’ responsiveness, and forgiveness. The findings suggest that event severity moderates the effectiveness of the general act of offering amends and/or responsiveness in promoting forgiveness. When event severity was high, the experimental manipulation of the presence vs. absence of amends and of responsiveness did not affect forgiveness. However, it did affect forgiveness for less severe events. Specifically, expressions of amends, responsiveness and their combination yielded similarly more forgiveness than no response at all. These effects were
iv
mediated by the victim’s perceptions of the offender’s responsiveness to his/her experience of the hurtful event. Further, results indicated that the victims’ perceptions of the offenders’ responsiveness could be promoted, or thwarted, by the content of the offenders’ amends. Micro-ratings of offenders’ amends behaviour demonstrated that when event severity is low, more elaborate offers of amends, in particular remorse, increase the victims’ perceptions of partner responsiveness, which in turn, facilitate forgiveness. To the contrary, when event severity is high, offering more elaborate offers of amends has no effect at all in facilitating victims’ perceptions of responsiveness, and expressing more remorse in particular, may backfire. Finally, the associations between coders’ ratings of the offenders’ behaviour with the victims’ perceptions suggested that the victims’ perceptions, especially of responsive behaviour, are perhaps largely self-construed.

▼ Romantic
relationships are important for social development and can impact an individual’s functioning both positively and negatively, especially when the relationship breaks up. Emotional and cognitive coping strategies including emotion approach coping, avoidance, and rumination and variable response to expressive writing intervention were examined in relation to post-dissolution distress. Undergraduate participants randomized into two groups completed measures of cognitive and emotional coping variables and global distress, with the experimental group completing a three-session expressive writing protocol. Writing samples were rated for processing mode, or the degree of vague general statements. Avoidance and rumination demonstrated significant cross-sectional associations with Time 1 distress controlling for demographics and characteristics of the former relationship. Gender moderated the relationship between rumination and distress. Using a matched sub-sample, the groups did not differ on emotional coping variables or distress. Results demonstrate the importance of examining emotional coping strategies in conjunction with relationship dissolution.

▼ Harvest of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a primary contributor to oyster reef habitat disturbance in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The impacts of oyster dredging on reef substrate and resident fauna have not been thoroughly examined on the extensive sub-tidal oyster reefs of Louisiana. Several reef structure and resident community metrics were compared on unharvested and harvested reefs during the spring, summer, and fall of 2010. Unharvested reefs had higher amounts of oyster clusters, solid reef substrate, and more large oysters, while harvested reefs had higher amounts of loose shell, mixed shell/mud substrate, and elevated chlorophyll-a levels. Overall, faunal densities did not differ with harvest status and dominant species were similar, although greater invertebrate diversity was found on harvested reefs. Several resident species were found to primarily associate with live oysters [freckled blenny (Hypsoblennius ionthas) and skilletfish (Gobiesox strumosus)] and chlorophyll-a levels [Harris mud crab (Rhithropanopeus harrisii) and snapping shrimp (Alpheus sp.)], indicating the importance of live oysters in determining reef microhabitat preferences by regulating types of available food sources. Condition (weight:length ratio) of naked gobies (Gobiosoma bosc) was greater on unharvested reefs, while other common fish species showed no difference. Large interstitial spaces associated with oyster clusters appear to enable several fish species to reach larger sizes at unharvested reefs and promote retention of age = 0 G. bosc. Stable isotope values (del 13C and del 15N) of dominant species and basal food sources were used to compare food web characteristics between sites. Non-pelagic source contributions and trophic positions of dominant species were elevated at harvested sites. Trophic order did not differ suggesting that no major shifts in feeding behavior occur at harvested reefs with the exception of zooplankton (trophic position increased substantially at harvested sites). While not changing total refuge capacity, oyster harvest appears to decrease the number of large oysters and also fragment solid reef area, resulting in elevated phytoplankton abundance, decreased benthopelagic coupling, and increased habitat heterogeneity. A larger forage base in the water column and mixed shell/mud substrate could account for increased invertebrate diversity and trophic position elevations on harvested oyster reefs.

While the Higher Education literature is replete with studies investigating the effects the work environment has on the employment relationship and job-related attitudes of academics, there is a paucity of empirical research which directly examines the underlying nature of the exchange mechanisms manifest within this environment. Therefore, in response to calls to expand our understanding of factors which influence employee attitudinal outcomes in the workplace, this study sought to investigate those mechanisms which reflect and influence the employee-organisation relationship of University academics. Grounding itself within the broad framework of Social Exchange Theory, the present study utilised and integrated Psychological Contract and Organisational Support Theories as exemplar representations of the exchange approach to the employment relationship. Quantitative results from an on-line cross-sectional survey of 445 university academics unearthed the presence of two distinct clusters of employee-organisation relationship as evidenced by two contrasting forms of psychological contract. In turn, each exchange relationship reflected differential levels of job satisfaction, affective commitment, normative commitment, perceived organisational support and perceptions of psychological contract breach, violation and fulfilment. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that the underlying nature of the exchange relationship significantly explained work-related attitudes. As such, compared to academics experiencing a weak, more transactional type of exchange relationship, academics holding a strong, relational type psychological contract were more satisfied in their work, more committed to their academic institution, felt more supported by their University and perceived less psychological contract infringements. Accounting for different levels of exchange relationship, it was found that perceptions of psychological contract breach and violation were significant negative predictors of work outcomes, and that violation had varying mediational effects on the relationship between breach and employee attitudes. Additionally, perceived organisational support returned as an important determinant of the exchange relationship of academics to the extent that for some academics, the presence of University support represented a fulfilment of their psychological contract, and for others it ‘buffered’ the negative effects of breach. Qualitative analysis of 192 open-ended responses revealed a number of issues pertaining to fairness and equity in the exchange relationship, value and recognition of contribution, teaching/workload demands and negative support perceptions; as salient concerns for the employee-organisation relationship of academics. Implications for University management and future directions for research are discussed in light of the study’s findings.

▼ Paranoia can manifest in a number of ways, ranging from concerns about others’ intentions to delusions of persecution. It is one of the most prevalent symptoms of psychosis but can also be experienced by the general population to varying degrees. Although a wealth of research has focused on paranoia to date, there continue to be gaps in our understanding of what fosters its development. This thesis aimed to address these by exploring possible contributory factors in two distinct projects. The first chapter presents a meta-analysis which synthesised 26 studies to assess the association between paranoia and attachment insecurity. It found both to be moderately associated, with the magnitude of this link remaining consistent regardless of variations in age, sex, or diagnosis. The second chapter presents an experimental study which investigated whether paranoia could be precipitated by loneliness. The latter was induced in a sample of 80 nonclinical volunteers using a three-stage procedure. Statistical analysis indicated that changes in loneliness and changes in paranoia covaried. Despite a number of methodological limitations, these findings point towards a possible relationship between both experiences.
